For a long time we wondered what or whom we should dedicate this second Reflector to. At length we came to the conclusion that the most fitting subjects were the seniors. We congratulate them upon the successful comple- tion of their tour years in high school, the four years which appeared so long when they first entered the school yet now, looking back. seem so short. This year's seniors have been more fortunate perhaps than last year's in that they have had at least a year and a half for the former Soldanians and Blewettites to amalga- mate into a united body. Still. they are to be commended for the fine way in which they have joined together in the new school. Some of these seniors will go on to college: others into the business world. But. whichever they choose, we wish them the best of luck. GRADUATION Seven .911 emoriam HERBERT P. STELLWAGEN Herbert P. Stellwagen, public servant, educator. and humanitarian, began his career in St. Louis in 1904, as a math teacher at Yeatman High School. In 1917. he became principal of Roe Elementary School. and in September. 1929, he became principal of Soldan High School in which capacity he served until his retirement in Iune, 1946. Mr. Stellwagen's great ability in administration was soon recognized here in St. Louis. account- ing for his fast rise in the educational system. Tirelessly, diligently. Mr. Stellwagen often worked eighteen hours a day serving his com- munity and school. He became one of our most active citizens. participating and serving in many civic under- takings. His success in life as an educator can be summed up by these words--professional skill, exceptional scholarship and experience in all phases of teaching. In his many years at Soldan. Mr. Stellwagen awakened fine ambition in countless young people through his vigorous, magnetic personality. We are grateful for and cherish the memory of one of St. Louis' outstanding educators. who had a sincere, unwavering belief in young people. Eight n emoriam JAMES F. COOK Iames F. Cook, star athlete irom the University oi Illinois, came as a manual arts instructor to Soldan High School in 1913. For the next thirty- six years he generously served the Soldan students with his time and eiiort, becoming an integral part of our school. Mr. Cook taught with remarkably gentle patience and judged with fairness. In 1916 he took charge ot the football team. and under his proficient leader- ship the team won five championships in the next fourteen years. Through his coaching success Mr. Cook gained recognition as an outstanding high school coach here in St. Louis. In 1930 he retired as a coach but continued his teaching and leading of young people. Mr. Cook's thirty'six years at Soldan were well spent judging from the influence that continues to be felt by those who knew him. Mr. Cook is remembered with respect tor his teaching capabilities and with love for a sympathetic friend. Nino .Aclminififrafion BEN H. BARR Principal Mr. Barr, a kind, friendly. and undersianding person. is our principal. When any problem arises, he is always ready with a helping hand. Under his guidance our high school years are made more enjoyable. We take this oppor- tunity to show our appreciation for all that Mr. Barr has done during our years at Soldan- Blewett. Ten E. E. CHILES Assistant Principal Every freshman student is well ac- quainted with the pleasing person- ality of Mr. Chiles. ln retum for his splendid efforts, he has earned the gratitude and appreciation oi the entire student body. CLAUDE N. SKELTON Assistant Principal Although Mr. Skelton has been with our school but a short time. he has indeed gained the admiration ot all the students. His conscientious efforts and counseling ability have helped to make this a better school, .xdalminiafrafion Eleven F CLCM, ADMINISTRATION Ben H. Barr. Principal E. E.

Once we achieved this eminent peak, we plunged into the stream of iast-moving events. During these happy days. we could look back on the preceding terms with eyes more prone to noticing their brighter side. Although the union oi Soldan and Blewett inter- rupted the smooth stream oi our high school days, we are now. through everyone's efforts. a strong united group. In our records on the following pages. we are trying to give the readers of our yearbook some insight into the activities and accomplishments ol the Classes oi Ianuary. Iune. and August. 1950.

Oct. 13, 1949 What a beautiful day it was for the first senior affair. a gala wiener roast at Forest Park. It was highlighted by a mixed game oi football and other games. This was our first real chance to get acquainted with each other. ROLLER SKATING PARTY ..,..,,..,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,..,,...,. N ov. 2, 1949 This party was given by the senior class for all the students of Soldan-Blewett. Everyone who attended had an enjoyable time though most of us needed three skates instead of just two. SENIOR BOW DAY AND DANCE ........................................... Nov. 22. 1949 The students and faculty got their first look at the Ianuary 1950 Seniors, as they ap- peared in their gay bows of all colors. sizes. and shapes. To conclude this joyous day, We had a senior dance. SENIOR PROM ............................ ........................ ....... D e c. 3, 1949 This was given by our class for all the seniors at the Hotel DeSoto. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Senior queen. The girls looked lovely in their formals and the boys like real men in their dark suits. SQUARE DANCE ............. ..............,..........................,... D ec. 20, 1949 The mothers were kind enough to give us this delightful affair. The refreshments were wonderful. The square dance was called by a professional caller. That day, we all mastered the art of square dancing. CLASS DAY ................................................ ............... I an. 20, 1950 This was a long awaited event for this was Our Day. Finals were over and we had only to wait for commencement. The class presented to the faculty and student body our colors. banner, and song. We were officially presented to the school. For entertainment there was a gala class day show and then we had our senior class day party. COMMENCEMENT .........................,...........................,... Ian. 26. 1950 This was the final event on our calendar. Yes. this was the day we had so anxiously looked forward to for four years. As we look back we could remember all the fun we'd had and all the friends we'd made and most of all, the teachers and what they had taught us. And so, as we leave Soldan-Blewett behind us. we shall all try to keep in mind, as well as practice. our motto. Understanding, lustice, and Brotherhood.

These social activities centered about the clubs. where we met with other students who shared a par- ticular interest or hobby. We were all given the opportunity ot pursuing our favorite subject farther than the classroom took us. or to take part in some sort of recreational activity. We made many friends through our clubs and en- joyed many happy hours together. These we shall never forget. Fllty-alqhl 3 IQ ToP p iclure Sealed: Adams, Zeffren. Shexberg. McCormick. Rennard. Mx.

Miss The Reflector staff has worked diligently this past year in an effort to bring to you, the students oi Soldan-Blewett High, an annual which will record many of the events of your school life of the year 1949-1950. A yearbook. such as the Reflector. can at best give only a sketch of the numerous activities which take place in a school as large as ours. Neverthe- less. we have tried to make this' sketch cover as much territory as possible without making the book overly large and expensive. We feel certain that the Reflector will bear out its name by reflecting to you a picture of the life of your school. In addition we trust that the photo- graphs and articles which we present in this publication will recall to the readers now and in years to come many pleasant thoughts of their years in Soldari-Blewett. The staff is composed of a group of fifteen to twenty students, mostly seniors. It is aided greatly by Mr. Foreman, the faculty sponsor. and Miss Brown, the faculty business manager.

Since no one wants to make a mistake, the seventy members of the A Cappella Choir are all in their places at eight A. M. each morn- ing. This club is the most advanced of all choral groups here at Soldan-Blewett. Under the leadership of Miss Thym, the students enjoy each moment put in studying classical, semi- classical, and sacred music. By participating in numerous outside activi- ties many students have received worth while musical experience. The busiest time ot the year, Christmas, is the one everyone enjoys most. Besides caroling through our halls, they appear at Hotel Statler, Union Station, and the Merchants' Exchange. Many times the Choir has been called upon on short notice, but they have always performed quite well. Miss Thym has good reason to be proud of this group. The Vocal Ensemble consists ot about sev- enty-eight students, both boys and girls who meet every day in Room 300, under the direc- tion of Miss Thym. This year the group, which includes students of all terms, will help cele- brate Vocal Ensemble's third birthday. They sing music written in unison as well as four part arrangements. Some of the songs used by the Vocal Ensemble are The Bells of Saint Mary's, Prelude, Stout Hearted Men, Pretense, When Day is Done, and many more. They all enjoy their music period each day. and invite all who enjoy singing READING MUSIC? to join them next term. OFFICERS President ....... .......... .....

Sixty-:lx enior 6Aamina e The Senior Chaminade, having cr membership of seventy-nine girls. is one oi the six vocal groups at Soldan-Blewett. The music family includes three Senior groups-Choir, Senior Chaminade. and Boys' Glee Club: two Iunior groups-Iunior Chaminade, and Vocal En- semble: and a Freshman group, Iunior Chorus. Senior Chaminade is often referred to as a stepping stone to Choir. The girls' activities this term consisted of radio programs, and an appearance before the Soldan-Blewett Mothers' Club. As there has been so much talent in the group this term, they have held several talent shows. Not only does everyone enjoy them, but they have helped some of the bashiul girls to gain confidence in appearing before an audience. Among the wide variety of music, the girls sing both classical and popular music, under the guidance of Miss Adele Thym. unior CLamina e Junior Chaminade, one of Soldan-B1ewett's active music groups, consists of seventy-eight girls, under the leadership of Miss Adele Thym. Meeting daily. the girls work hard to improve themselves in such things as breathing and diction. Together with the Boys Glee Club. they presented a Christmas program to the Mothers' Club, singing three numbers: Gesu Bambino, Angels We Have Heard On High, and Silent Night.

Realizing that enjoyment and relaxation are necessary for the fullest appreciation of school life. the Boys Glee Club attempts to fulfill these requirements. Many boys who join know little about music, but after several terms they become top singers in this fine group. The boys agree that they acquire a finer sense oi music appreciation through their study of music. During the term the Boys Glee Club participates in many public appearances such as the annual Music Concert, the Inter-Group Confer- ence. the annual operetta. and programs before the Soldan-Blewett Mothers' Club. Through these performances the Boys Glee Club is recognized as one of the outstanding boy choruses in St. Louis. OFFICERS President ....... .,......,....,.....

The Board of Education furnishes the large instruments. uniforms, and music. Students furnish the smaller instruments. The Concert Band meets daily in the early A period. It plays tor all football games. many civic parades, and for school auditorium ses- sions and graduations. The Concert band is signally honored by being chosen to play for the Easter Sunrise Service before an audience of ten thousand over a coast to coast hook up. This is an annual service which is held at the Municipal Opera in Forest Park. Members from the Concert Band composed about one fourth of the All City Band selected from all the white High Schools in St. Louis. Members, chosen by the respective Directors, performed at Kiel Auditorium for the Missouri State Teacher's Convention. The All City Band was under the direction of our director, Mr. R. D. Sorrells. 0llCel't OFCLBJ fra The Soldan-Blewett Concert Orchestra is assem- bled lrom the Senior String Group and the Intermediate String Group as well as from the brass, reed. and percussion sections of the Concert Band. These String groups meet daily in a regular period. In order to enter one ot these classes a student must be able to meet the playing requirements set by the instructor. The Senior Orchestra plays tor special occa- sions and plays in the pit for the Operetta. Because of the necessity of spending more time in building string players, since most of them start in the first term as beginners, the regular Senior Orchestra time has become a string rehearsal period. Thus the Senior Orchestra sometimes rehearses in the momings before school in order to pertomi together as a unit. Chris Paganini, a Senior student, is the general manager and assistant director while Mr. R. D. Sorrells is the instructor. mxcmc rr-is Music OFFICERS Secretary and Manager ............

The Intermediate band is a group of players in about second term experi- ence with an instrument. Most of them will progress next term into the concert band it they pass certain requirements set up by the instructor.

Although the Dramatic Guild is well-known by its annual three-act production, those who are members know it to mean more than just that. Weeks of preparation are needed to give plays that live up to the standards of their successful predecessors. Acting is not the sole aspect ot the Guild members: some of them are mainly interested in stage makeup application, tech- nical lighting. scenery preparation, or directing. When all these interests are combined, we have a wonderful play. Such a production was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which was highly acclaimed. The Connecticut Yankee was played by Bob Justice. The rest of the cast included: Ray Brusca as Merlin, the magician Norma Nymark as Clarence, the page: Don Berg as King Arthur Rita Lachman as Sandy: Sue Sutton as Queen Morgan Le Fay: Phyllis Hom as Queen Guinevere: Marlene Rubanowitz as Elaine: Harry Schukar as Sir Lancelot: Bob Seltzer as Sir Sagramor: Dolores Rennard as Mrs, Bennett: Carol Nystrom as Marion Bennett.

MCEACHRON MR. HATFIELD With approximately seventy-five boys turning out for the 1949 football season. Coach Hatfield had much material to work with. as he narrowed down the players to a workable iorty. Returning lettermen. Captain Angelo Lombardo. and Ronald Suchart. took over halfback and quarterback slots. respectively, while lim lones and Paul Ashby alternated for the other haliback position. To fill in the rest of the back- field, Coach Hatfield interchanged Ioe Noce and Ierry Raskas as the other fullback. George Anastas and Bob Diekmann went back to their original positions at guard and end, respec- tively, while Iay Dee Hart switched to center where he performed very favor- ably. Soldan-Blewett started the season's play at University City. where they were handed a 20-6 defeat on September 20th by a strong, highly-rated eleven. The Tigers bolstered a good passing offense, but it looked rather weak be- side University City's strong ground attack. Ninety-tour joofdaff Things did not get any brighter, how- ever, when the Tiger eleven were handed their second straight defeat by East St. Louis in a close game, 13-S. Our boys fought hard and took heart when they grabbed a seven-point lead in the second quarter. thanks to a brilliant thirty-five yard run by Angelo Lom- bardo. But the Flyers quickly retaliated, scoring on a fumble, and finally forging ahead in the third quarter. BATTLEGROUND HlKEl TWO DOWN. MORE TO GO As the hyphenated-eleven entered league play for the 1949 season with two defeats against them. they were determined to win. and Coach Hatfield especially enjoyed seeing them trounce the Southwest Longhorns 25-12. The game was highlighted with brilliant playing on the Tigers part during the whole encounter. as they com- pletely outclassed the Southwest eleven. Ronald Suchart gave evidence oi this as he raced eighty yards for a touchdown in the opening minutes ot the game. Strengthened by their last victory. the team then proceeded to smother the McKinley eleven on a rain-soaked attemoon in rnid-October. The score was I9-0. Ronald Suchart and Angelo Lombardo contributed to the scoring. the latter racing sixty yards for a touchdown in the second quarter ot the game. Monday night. October 24th. saw the Bengals, now regarded by some as a definite threat to the crown, encounter Beaumont in a thrilling spectacle, which might have seemed even more exciting. had our boys come out on top. Never- theless. we did manage to tie the Bluejackets 6-6 in a game marred by numerous penalties joofdaf Roosevelt practically smashed any Soldan- Blewett hopes tor a football championship this year. as they bucked our poor line defense for two touchdowns. The only sparkling action of the day was Ronald Suchart's 92-yard runback oi a kick-off. for a Bengal score with less than two minutes remaining in the last quarter. Central then made quick work oi the demoral- ized Tigers, scoring in every quarter but one. 18-9. Iay Dee Hart received All-District honors from one of the local papers and Ronald Suchart received honorable mention from all three.

Before the Soldan-Blewett basketball team en- tered into league play this season, they played several games with county and private schools. They opened the season by suffering a loss at the hands of a fast Principia team KSU-453. Deutch, Siegfried. and Towbin were high scorers, Towbin leading with twenty-three points. The next game was lost to Brentwood C61-283. The team then recovered, scoring a victory over McBride t42-38.2 It was commented that this was the first occasion that the team's offense and defense both clicked at the same time. The next game. against a strong C.B.C. team resulted in another victory for the team K38-313. Then came disappointment with a loss to DeAndreiS 143-311. During the Christmas vacation. the Tigers played some thrilling games in the Normandy Tournament. In their first game they beat Webster Groves by a close score C57-SSD.

The next night, the team beat McBride Q50-441 and reached the semi-finals, but were defeated by Southwest, t42-37l. The team then entered league play, defeating McKinley C52-34l in their first game, losing to Southwest t48-39? in their next one. The boys scored another victory for the Alma Mater. defeating Hadley Tech. by a margin which should have been larger 132-275. With gradua- tion approaching, the lanuary seniors did not play in the rest of the games. This loss of men definitely, hindered the team. In their next game, they were defeated by Roosevelt C42-353, and then hy Beaumont 179-353. their worst defeat cf the season. At this game, the services of Al Towbin were lost because of a leg injury. There were defeats by Central Q52-581 and by Cleveland K56-313, The team finished the sea- son in sixth place in the Public High League. After the league season was over, Soldan- Blewett entered the University City Regional Toumament and took third place. In this tournament they beat a strong Affton team C27-255, lost to University City t54-361, and heat Hancock 448-431. Of the twenty games that the team played, eight were won and twelve were lost.

The track team starts practicing around the time Spring begins. and they endeavor to im- prove their skills so that they will win more meets for the alma-mater. This striving and effort is all brought to a climax at the Field Day Track Meet in which all the Public High Schools of our league are competing against THE KENTUCKY DERBY each other.

Ninety-sight The Soldan-Blewett Baseball Team was a dark Y W - f horse in this year's Public League race. With A1 Towbin returning to do the main pitching chores. the team figured to roll if its hitting could match the effectiveness of its pitching. However. Towbin started slowly, but improved greatly as the season progressed. The Tigers lost to McBride in their first en- counter 5-2. but avenged that defeat later with cx 13-9 victory. The Bengals started their league play most auspiciously with a 12-11 victory over Hadley. In that game the Tigers scored eight runs in the last of the seventh to pull the game out of the fire. The Tigers followed this with a 6-3 victory over McKinley. Then came their first defeat 10-S to Beaumont. Hopes for a championship tumbled as the Ben- gals lost to Roosevelt. 7-6: Central, 7-0: South- west. 8-2: and Cleveland, 9-5. COACH AND BENCH After this debacle the Tigers reached their peak by defeating the powerhouse Beaumont team 5-3. and trampling McKinley 17-7.

Ninety-nlne enn id eam The Soldan-Blewett Tennis Team captured the i949 tennis championship. after recovering irom a slow start and staging a spirited drive that swept by Roosevelt for the title. With only one retuming letterman. Alvin Sieg- fried, prospects for victory were not high at the beginning of the year, but the new additions proved strong. The Tigers opened their season by defeating Southwest C3-27. but then lost to Cleveland K2-31. Next they rallied to smash McKinley K5-07. Beaumont I3-21, and Central KSFDJ. On the final day oi the season they met a favored Roosevelt team and defeated them K4-ll for the league title, ending the season with a 22-8 mark.

All the members of the regular team received letters for their effort in bringing the school its first tennis trophy. The SoldanfB1ewett Swimming Team under the watchful eye ot Mr. C. Bockelbrink began the season with nine retuming members, Fred Ungar. Bob Kelly. Leo Pashos, Lawrence Haze- lip, Ben Zuckerman, Irwin Sorkin, Bernard Herman. and Dick Fisher. Only tour of these. however. Ungar. Kelly, Pashos and Herman. were letterrnen. THE BIG SPLASH U wimming Their action in the six league meets this season was not spectacular on the whole. as they lost all of them and wound up in last place at the end of league competition. The natators were seriously handicapped, however. because of the active service of only two returning letter- men and the few inexperienced newcomers to the squad. The team placed fifth in the Public High Invita- tional Relay Carnival. however. and tied for tenth place in the state meet at Wilson Pool. In the latter event. honors went to Fred Ungar who placed third in the 200 yard tree-style contest and to the relay team oi Bemard Herman. Irwin Sorkin. Ben Zuckerman. and Fred Ungar which came in filth in the 160 yard free-style event. The eight boys who merited letters for their work during the season were Fred Ungar.

The eleven other lettermen either had graduated or were schol- astically ineligible. As a result this year's team consisted mostly of young, inexperienced boys, many in their second term. The boys had the spirit, but the material was lacking. The Tigers, therefore. were unable to uphold previous team's rec- ords. In their opening meet Beaumont trounced the Tigers 390-293: but the Bengals rebounded and defeated Hadley in their next start. For the iirst time in thirteen years the Bengals did not win the Interscholastic Gym Meet. com- ing in third with Beaumont the champion. Although we did not have a championship team this year, the gymnasts are young and should improve with experience. The Gym Club originated in 1913 under the direction of Dr. Otto M. Koenig. Through the years the club has functioned with great success. Mr. Plag. the present sponsor. has guided the club since 1939. Its purpose is twofold: to develop a sound body and train boys to rep- resent Soldan-Blewett in the various dual gym- nastic meets. Interscholastic Gym Meet, and the A,A.U. Meet. Much work is involved in the training: it re- quires much time and toil. The boys work diligently on the horizontal bars. parallel bars. side horse, and mats. The club has produced many stars on the Tiger Gym Team and will continue to do so in the future under its motto, A sound mind in a sound body. gg... 64.4 First Row: Londe. Stone. Indelicnlo, Stevens.
